The first weekend Rudolph day is June 25th which is nice and half way.

Next weekend Rudolph day is September 25th. Rudolph day falls on a Friday 3 time this year meaning rudi loves that Friday feeling.

TRS30 · 05-01-2022 4:13pm

Need some more irreverent sports stuff for @Posy 😂

they're the first 3 dates I put on my wall planner every year 😀

The scary thing is, as long as that list looks we'll be through it in no time.

Loughc · 05-01-2022 5:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118422567#Comment_118422567

Yep once we hit the 17th of September sure it's the 23rd of December right after that.

It's the inclusion of Dancing with the Stars that's made me wince. 😂😂

At least X Factor didn't make it!

Even I know it's finished.

carltonleon · 06-01-2022 8:02am

You Forgot -

Lockdown 4 - Feb 15th

Lockdown 5 - August 20th

Lockdown 6 - December 5th

(And Yes, I bloody well hope not !!!)

I laughed, but thanfully there doesn't seem to be any chance of any more lockdowns, cases won't get much higher than they are now and everything bar hospitiality remains fully open.

Loughc · 07-01-2022 2:18pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118422184#Comment_118422184

Worth noting November 25th is a Friday and most likely the day the Toy Show is on and many of us put up our tree. What a way to celebrate the last Rudolph Day of the year this year!!

freshpopcorn · 07-01-2022 2:29pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118422967#Comment_118422967

January is a slow month to fair.

I'm surprised they haven't Mary Kennedys neighbors friend cousin's cleaner to do it this year going by the people they picked.

They refused, thought it was below them.

DvB · 27-01-2022 9:46am

First 4 of these can be marked off!!

Loughc · 27-01-2022 10:11am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118539094#Comment_118539094

2 Marked off and 2 deleted as I count NYD and Little Christmas as part of Christmas 2021 and not 2022.

DvB · 27-01-2022 10:27am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118539210#Comment_118539210

yeah would agree with that.

TRS30 · 27-01-2022 11:02am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118539210#Comment_118539210

And we're up and running........

Posy · 27-01-2022 6:58pm

Is Dancing with the Stars ends really a big enough event to be crossing off on the countdown? 😂

DvB · 27-01-2022 9:18pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118542136#Comment_118542136

Wouldn't put it on the same level as strictly myself, but it's a group effort at the end of the day.

Posy · 27-01-2022 10:09pm

It is. 🙂

I just specifically meant the end- the end of Bake Off and Strictly aren't listed, likewise the end of the Winter Olympics and World Cup, so it upset my OCD. It's clearly just my issue. 😂

DvB · 28-01-2022 7:41am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118542986#Comment_118542986

OOH, hadn't copped that.... agree, starting these things is usually the marker, not the ending as you say.

FP messing with your head 😂

Littlehorny · 04-02-2022 10:38pm

I would add "January being thankfully over" to any Christmas yearly checklist ☺️

DvB · 01-03-2022 8:24am

All the way up to pancake Tuesday can be marked off now.

TRS30 · 01-03-2022 9:32am

Will be another 4 done by the end of the month as well.

Loughc · 01-03-2022 10:10am

All updated now, satisfiying crossing off a load, feels like we are making progress.

DvB · 30-03-2022 9:56am

St Patrick's Day

Dancing with the Stars ends

Waffle Day 25th March

Clocks go Forward/Mother's Day 27th March

All can be marked off now...

Loughc · 31-03-2022 8:47pm

Done now DVB.

Ah lads I completely forgot about waffle day. Sickened!!

Posy · 31-03-2022 10:48pm

I remembered it, and lamented my waffle-less state. Next year will be a Saturday, and I will make sure I make/get a waffle somewhere! 😁

Loughc · 01-04-2022 7:55am

Saturday waffles.... niiiiice.

Posy · 04-05-2022 10:56pm

The next thing to cross off is next week's Eurovision, then it's onto the June bank holiday. What is going on at all??!

TRS30 · 05-05-2022 7:25am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119017652#Comment_119017652

There'll be a few knocked off in June, we take a break in July and then it be close to the start of the season and we'll be tick them off nearly weekly.

DvB · 12-05-2022 9:10am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119018009#Comment_119018009

Just looking there and am I right in thinking that July is the only month with nothing on the checklist?

freshpopcorn · 12-05-2022 9:16am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119050027#Comment_119050027

We used have the Argos catalogue but as far as I know both the All Ireland's are in July this year!

DvB · 12-05-2022 9:42am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119050056#Comment_119050056

Yes, you're right @freshpopcorn the GAA calendar changed with both the senior AI finals in July this year. Just seeing them listed after the August b/h had me distracted.

freshpopcorn · 12-05-2022 9:59am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119050174#Comment_119050174

We should plan something big for July.

Maybe breaking into the Brown Thomas stock room!

DvB · 12-05-2022 10:26am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119050282#Comment_119050282

I know for some 'Christmas in July' is a thing, but never really got that vibe myself. I do know before covid it was huge in the christmas trades though with loads of businesses launching their christmas trade shows then.

TRS30 · 12-05-2022 12:17pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119050282#Comment_119050282

You can put in TRS' summer holiday if you want 😂

Posy · 13-05-2022 6:52pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119050174#Comment_119050174

That is so weird. All Irelands in July, nooooo!

DvB · 13-05-2022 10:03pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119058417#Comment_119058417

Well we had one Christmas week too, so anything goes at this stage.

Posy · 13-05-2022 11:34pm

Ah, but that was Covid- this is just wrong on several levels. 😂

PTH2009 · 13-05-2022 11:48pm

Start of the 2023 PDC World Darts Championship on Sky Sports

Date TBC but normally starts mid December

TRS30 · 21-05-2022 1:06pm

Only Eurovision to mark off so maybe give it a couple of weeks and can do June bank holiday and 200 days to the big one.

TRS30 · 20-06-2022 7:18am

4 more can be crossed off after tomorrow. A good chuck for this time of the year.

Posy · 20-06-2022 11:06pm

I've caught us up! This is scary. 😵

DvB · 24-06-2022 7:34am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119229130#Comment_119229130

All Ireland Finals next, I know the list is heavily weighted towards the latter end of the year but it feels odd that we're nearly at the AI finals already, albeit the GAA calendar has brought them forward from the old GAA calendar.

TRS30 · 24-06-2022 8:46am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119242039#Comment_119242039

I'm not a big GAA fan by any stretch however even I knew the AI finals were in September. It was one of those things that coincided with the kids going back to school and marked the end of summer. I can imagine the shift to July was a big adjustment for hardcore fans.

plainbiscuits · 27-06-2022 1:32pm

Hard to believe the Gaiety Panto is being advertised now. One for the list for next year?

BK5 · 01-07-2022 11:59am

We could also add the Leaving Cert finishing to the list?

PTH2009 · 22-07-2022 4:52pm

I feel they've ruined it the last few years. Was so much better when it had just 64 players. Too much nonsense now.
